I’m not going to lie, I don’t hate this move. Maybe the success rate of this stunt 0.0, but you miss every shot you don’t take. This guy put 2 hours into this chase, so I agree with the last ditch effort.

A suspected car thief made a bizarre attempt at evading police Wednesday — by driving his SUV straight into the ocean. The two-hour police chase in Perth, Australia, appeared to be coming to an end when the suspect found himself on the beach with nowhere to go. But as police closed in, the man appeared to make a last-ditch bid for freedom by accelerating straight into breaking waves.

You know damn well this played out differently in this dude’s head, he for sure thought he was catching a wave to freedom.
